Lets Ride! by Megan Gourlay

Washi tape seems to be an addictive embellishment that has been around for awhile but one I never really got, and now I'm wondering why? lol. BoBunny has come up with some funky designs to match their paper ranges, and after a bit of sleuthing around on the internet I found out it was easy and fun to use. I love that its so forgiving on mistakes! - the anal part of me wanted my strips straight and they weren't but with some re-adjusting they were exactly where I wanted them. I wish all mistakes were that easy to fix!

My Godson Jack is 4 and loves racing up the long drive to the house on his bike. I was looking for papers to tie in with this photo and kept coming back to Modern Miss - the rebel in me quite likes that I've turned something that is supposed to be feminine range into something more masculine.

Designer Tip: By splitting the banner from the Noteworthy range in two you can layer them on top of each other for a more dimensional banner.

Washi tape is definitely trendy and oh, so easy to use! What I love about it- its a bit transparent that gives your project more airiness, and also if you are not happy with the way you have sticked it, you can easily peel it off without any damage to your project. I used 3 different washi tapes on my layout.

I Can't get enough of Modern Miss! And I really love the washi tape that comes with the collection, especially the photo film strip patterened one. I used it throughout to give a more united, cohesive look to the various areas of the layout. I love how easy it is to re-position as well, and that the lighter areas are see-though - gives it a more artsy feel, which went well with the collection.

I also used the washi tape to make an embellishment - I simply covered a small piece of sturdy cardstock with washi tape and then ran it through my Sizzix Big Shot with a heart die - and viola! - a cute embellishment that perfectly matches the layout :)
